i didnt read the other posts, so im not sure if someone mentions this, but after you get your braces taken off (which probably wont be for a while as you havent even gotten braces yet) Make sure you wear the retainer they give you!!! I had braces for about 2 years.. I got them off, and i had the straightest teeth out of everyone i kneww!!! Everyone would give me compliments on what a NICE smile i had, etc... But i never wore my retainer because i wanted to show off my perfect smile... Well.. When you dont wear your retainer your teeth shift... And mine did... I cant fit my retainer back on anymore to re-align them, so now i have to get braces put back on.. Smart me huh?
